Favorite quotes from Sheri’s books

I’ll start with mine – at least it is today.

“We are made of the stuff of stars, given our lives by a living world, given our selves by time. We are brother to the trees and sister to the sun. We are of such glorious stuff we need not carry pain around like a label. Our duty, as living things, to be sure that pain is not our whole story, for we can choose to be otherwise. As Ellin says, we can choose to dance.”
― Sheri S. Tepper, Six Moon Dance

One thought on “Favorite quotes from Sheri’s books”

I am writing to congratulate on your World Fantasy Life Achievement Award and more generally to thank you for your books and writing. My own writing owes a lot to reading your books when I was growing up, particularly THE TRUE GAME series, and I m very grateful both for the enjoyment of reading and the influence!

“Dear Ms. Tepper”

Thanks to a kind person at "Authors Contact" at Harper Collins, the emails and comments sent to this website are being forwarded on to Sheri's publicist and she tells us she welcomes any more that come our way.

She doesn't write back often, but here is one response she sent back to a question about having an ending in mind when she writes.

" A BOOK BEGINS WITH A SITUATION THAT MORPHS INTO A HAPPENING WITH SEVERAL EVENTUALITIES FLUTTERING AROUND IT, ONE OR MORE OF WHICH MAY, HOPEFULLY, DROP IN FROM WHO-KNOWS-WHERE, LAND ON A WHO-PUT-THAT-THERE, AND DECIDE TO BUILD A NEST. "

Ms. Tepper is slated to receive a Lifetime Achievement Award at the World Fantasy 2015 Convention, but if the Award were for just one book or series, which would you chose?
